“Clippity Clippity”
Bible Story
Read Genesis 15:3-6
The New Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes
Focus: God's promise to Abraham
Art Activity
The boys took a small piece of paper towel and blotted white paint on a black piece of paper to represent stars in the ngiht sky.. They then colored a piece of white paper and folded this (well I folded them.) This represents Abraham's tent.
Letter Activity
I took sidewalk chalk and drew two 'c's. I had the boys take toy cars and move the cars along the letter while saying 'c'.
Bible Activity
We made a “tent” and the boys “dressed” up as Abraham. They went into the tent and I turned off the lights. I read to them Genesis 15:3-6 and we acted out Abraham talking to God. The boys repeated what Abraham said and I had the boys come out of the tent and try to count all the “stars” in the night sky (a dark ceiling had to suffice.) “A” said he could not count them because there were too many stars!
Music
Played and sang “God Began a Nation”
Other
“A” went to a half day camp today, and “R” went to a playdate for three hours with three other boys, ages 2, 6, and 6.
Leigh,
I like your new look! I also like all the ideas you are posting for other mammas. I am sure this will be very helpful for others. Thanks for sharing what you are doing with your young ones.
warmly,
